ViewerAnon is one of the few that I actually believe when they say they have heard something, so this makes me excited! Hope it´s true!

I honestly have no doubt Guardians 3 is going to be brilliant. It has two great films, the returning cast and returning director. End Game stuff might give it baggage but thats my only concern. This makes its presales numbers even stranger to me.

Finally good news for guardians. Earlier reviews is an excellent choice. The film clearly needs something to get the ball rolling and build up buzz at this point.

BSL seems to be hearing the same

This is excellent news. Hopefully the early word on Guardians Vol. 3 and The Flash is legit and we'll see both restore a bit of faith in superhero movies on the big screen. Then, it'll be up to Marvel Studios with Feige and WB with Gunn to keep quality up.

[Mulder]

I feel like there's a chance that even if GoTG 3's OW is muted/on the smaller end that if it's as good as the last two and WOM spreads that it is, it could have a leggy run.

[keysersoze123]

I agree this is good news for Guardians and it needs it for sure. Keeping it late with subdued buzz does not make sense. 

 

Not sure if below is bullshit but at least data we have corroborates some of it.

People thought Avatar 2 could do $600M+ in China...It didn't even do half of that with expansions. Antman has always been relatively big in China yet AM3 just barely crossed the OW gross of AM2

The only reason why A2 missed $500M+ is because it came out a couple of days after restrictions were lifted, with most of the people still fearful about going back into a movie theater and 30% of theaters still shut down. That killed its first two weekends.

Given the pathetic small amount of screens it had the movie did great during the expansions.

[JohnCarterofEarth]

Anything below $600M would be a disaster. And that’s where we’re heading if something doesn’t change in terms of marketing. It’s very worrisome that the trailers have kind of hidden the story away.

Adam Warlock becoming a bad internet meme after the Ant Man 3 Modok debacle is not a good thing to have as a rumor...

It's more important for GOTG to be a crowd pleasure than a home-run box office hit. Marvel needs to restore some trust with their fans and the GA

 

Even though OW is looking grim, if it is good, GOTG could have solid legs

from what i remember, this account is very unreliable 

 

the few factual infos are from other sources, and mostly are fake

 

but even if it´s true, executives rarely really knows anything about making a beloved movie 

[TheFlatLannister]

I don't want to exaggerate, but GOTG3 feels like a true make or break for phase 5 and onwards. I hope its good

[Menor the Destroyer]

Memes don't matter if the movie is great. MODOK's appearance was the least of the problems with Quantumania.

definitely, i don´t think a MCU sequel at this point can have the luxury of having like, amazing legs 

 

but amazing WOM could help it to get to 2.75x or so

 

but let´s wait, i think if there´s any chance the OW path can be reverted, we´ll start to see the signs on April 27 - 28 if it´s actually that good, until there i think it will just keep doing mediocre presale numbers

I don’t see it doing 2.75x even with amazing WOM. Too much competition with Fast X two weeks after and then Little Mermaid and June is 100% packed. 2.5x at best. I’m thinking 2.35x.

Fast X will probably be a flop on US, this franchise is going downward each movie since 2015 

 

With 340M budget, i would bet this won´t even be profitable, i´m expecting 750 - 800M WW but only 150 - 180M DOM

It’s still direct competition. Also maybe Fast X is great and it performs. Who knows? I just don’t see 2.75x legs for Guardians 3. MCU movies legs especially nowadays is much shorter than that. Wakanda Forever had Thanksgiving all to itself and basically the whole month of November (Thanksgiving) + the holidays. It still barely managed to do 2.5x. Guardians 3 can only do that if it’s amazing considering the crowded competition ahead.

[Mr Roark]

There’s little hype. Movie must be good.
